Summary: Paul's Problems
Review: This book is a good book. It's about a boy named Glenn and his brother Paul, who is mentally challenged. Glenn helps Paul in basketball so he can make friends. But some people still won't accept him. This is a good book, and I would recommend it to any kid. It teaches you not to judge people just because they are different before you get to know them.

Summary: Shooter Paul
Review: This book is about a kid who is disabled and can't learn as fast as others. His name is Paul, and he has a brother named Glenn. His brother was trying to teach him basketball so he would have something to do. Glenn wants Paul to have friends besides him. He thought it would be a good experience for paul to play a sport. I thought this was a good book.

Summary: Disabled Dude
Review: This is a good book for kids. I bought it for my son because he likes basketball, so, even though he is not "developmentally disabled" (in Mr. Christopher's words), I felt that he could relate to it on at least one level. This is the story of Paul who really wants to be a very good basketball player, but, as his peers and his coach are quick to tell him, he is kind of a strange-looking and he can't quite hold the ball right. But Paul finds much success and love in his life, because his brother still cares about him, even though Paul does have a droopy face and drools sometimes when he's excited. This book was confusing at first; Mr. Christopher refers to Paul as "developmentally disabled," a term which I found rather too vague. Once I realize that what Mr. Christopher meant was that Paul was mentally ... not-right, the book made a whole lot more sense to me. So by this one, cross out all of the "developmentally disableds," and replace them with "mentally not-rights," so your child will understand. Put this one under the Christmas tree!

Summary: Disabled Dude
Review: Would you think that a disabled kid could learn so fast? Well Paul can. In Matt Christopher's Long Shot For Paul , the main character, Paul, learns to play basketball in 2 weeks. He and his brother Glenn are playing for the Sabers, but the players are being hard on Paul. Will the players accept Paul? I thought this book was awesome. It was a sports book and I love sports. Any kid who is into sports should read this book. On a scale from 1 to 10 this would definitely be a 10. I bet the author wrote this to get people to understand that just because people are different, it doesn't mean that they are not good at stuff or they aren't nice.
